Donald Trump's Comments on FEMA Prompt Concerns Over Agency's Future Amid US Disaster Response Efforts

US President Donald Trump made a visit to storm-hit North Carolina and California areas ravaged by wildfires during his first week back in office. Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and suggested that states be given federal money to handle disasters themselves. According to Trump, FEMA "has turned out to be a disaster" and he is considering signing an executive order to overhaul or eliminate the agency.
